Microtrans…gression?

Have you ever gotten a pop up that read: “Want to heal for more? Buy this potion!” Western gamers may not be familiar with it, however, Eastern gamers know this as one thing: Micro-transactions

I personally like the idea of micro-transactions. Given the ability to pick and choose which items I want to spend my money on, as opposed to paying for an entire game and ‘questing’ for said items. But I feel that the MT stores only work with games that have free-to-play models. When you make people pay a monthly sub, to access your content, then have them pay more to get ‘extras’, it can QUICKLY kill a fan base. The store can only really work if the prices are within reason, also. For example, in Allods, the cost of items that were needed to access high level PvP were very high. It caused an uproar among the fan base and for those who had simply heard about the game.

My guess is, the ration of people that would welcome a MT/Monthly sub hybrid, to those who do not are small. However, I’m curious to know what various opinions on microtransactions, in general are out there. Feel free to leave a comment below.
